Common problems we here in the shop is the odd few plants don't look well doing poorly signs of growth. The other plants look lovely but these odd few look terrible. The reason for this could be that these plants just have weaker genetics or they are the runts of the litter. Ways we can help these plants are by introducing special nutrients to help strengthen the plants. Usually these products have trace elements or lots of different amino acids. These products will help your plant get better by aiding root development, build plant vigor, stimulate more growth and flowering. There are products you can put straight into the water butt and mix in with your other nutrients (make note that some of these products are very concentrated so only small amounts are needed). Other products you can foliar spray direct to the plant.
Grow It Yourself Hydroponics would recommend using a product called Superthrive this is a great product and has many beneficial factors. You can also use Superthrive for transplanting and maintenance and to reduce transplant shock. When applying for seedling or small cuttings (young plants) we recommend only using a drop or two from a pipette for 20 litres. When plants are more established we would recommend applying 4ml – 8 ml per 100 litres. The reason why we say such a low dose is that you would have already added all your base nutrients and other veg and flower boosters so we do not want to increase the ec value too high. Like I said before most of these products are concentrated so smaller amounts are better.
Another product that Grow It Yourself Hydroponics highly recommend is Biobizz Leaf Coat. This product is great to use in the vegetive stage and you will see how much the plant benefits in a matter of days. We recommended Biobizz Leaf Coat to a customer he only spayed half the crop as he didn't purchase enough and ran out half way through spraying. The half that had been sprayed were nicer looking, healthier and had more statue to them. Really good product.
